Kebiasaan berpikir matematis khususnya pada level higher-order thinking skill (HOTS) merupakan sarana penting untuk mengembangkan gagasan secara terbuka dan divergen. Namun hal ini menjadi kendala karena para guru belum memiliki pemahaman yang komprehensif tentang HOTS serta bentuk instrument soal level HOTS. Permasalahan ini harus segera diatasi dengan memberikan pemahaman yang utuh tentang HOTS dan melatih mereka menyusun soal matematika level HOTS khususnya pada konten geometri.dalam bentuk kegiatan Pelatihan Pengembangan Soal Geometri Level HOTS. Sasaran kegiatan ini adalah guru SD Kota Kupang sebanyak 29 orang yang berlangsung di SDI Bertingkat Kelapa Lima 2 Kota Kupang. Metode kegiatan ini yakni ceramah, tanya jawab, diskusi dan presentasi. Setelah diberi pelatihan, guru dibimbing untuk membuat soal-soal level HOTS pada konten geometri yang akan digunakan dalam kegiatan pembelajaran maupun tes di kelas. Hasil yang diperoleh adalah 1) guru memiliki pemahaman yang sama tentang HOTS. Hasil pretest dan posttest menunjukkan adanya perubahan konsepsi tentang HOTS yang didefinisikan sebagai level berpikir analisis, kritis dan kreatif, 2) mampu mengembangkan keterampilan berpikir guru dalam menyusun instrumen soal level HOTS. 3) menumbuhkan komitmen mutu guru terhadap pengembangan kemampuan berpikir matematis siswa.Kata-kata kunci; geometri, higher-order thinking skillMathematical thinking habit, especially at the higher-order thinking skill (HOTS) level, is an important tool for developing ideas openly and diverging. But this is an problem because teachers do not have a comprehensive understanding of HOTS and the HOTS level questions yet. This problem must be solved immediately by providing a complete understanding of HOTS and training them to compile HOTS mathematics problems especially on geometry through the training of  developing HOTS Level Geometry questions. The subjects of this training were 29 elementary school teachers which took place at SDI Bertingkat Kelapa Lima 2 Kota Kupang. The method of this activity is discourse, question and answer, discussion and presentation. After being given training, the teacher is guided to make HOTS level questions on geometric content that will be used in learning and test activities in the classroom. The results obtained are 1) the teacher has the same understanding of HOTS. The results of the pretest and posttest showed a change in conceptions about HOTS which was defined as the level of thinking analysis, critical and creative, 2) able to develop teacher thinking skills in preparing HOTS level question instruments. 3) growing the teacher's quality commitment to the development of students' mathematical thinking skills.Keywords; geometry, higher-order thinking skill

Participatory Training

The implementation of higher order thinking skills (HOTS) in science learning in elementary school is needed so that students get the stimulation to think critically and creatively through science experiment tasks. The tasks of teaching and learning activities need to be applied in the HOTS-oriented learning process by adjusting the characteristics of elementary students' thought development, curriculum, and adapted to the nature of science as a product, process, and scientific attitude. This study aims to improve the teacher's ability to design science learning in the HOTS category through the application of participatory training, consisting of the stages of analysis of the needs of the training participants, reviewing the material, designing the tasks of the science learning in the HOTS category collaboratively. Subjects were involved as many as 14 elementary school teachers in Laweyan Subdistrict, Surakarta City. The study design uses descriptive qualitative. Data collection used was a test of the ability to design science learning in elementary schools. The results showed that the ability of elementary school teachers to design science learning in the HOTS category after attending the training had a higher score than before participating in the participatory training.

Construction Of Knowledge

NCTM's Curriculum and Evaluation Standards for School Mathematics (1989) states that mathematics instruction should reflect a constructvist's view of the learning process, that is, that learners are not passive absorbers of knowledge but rather active participants in the construction of knowledge. Such instruction would approach mathematics as interrelated concepts and skills to be understood rather than as independent concepts and skills to be memorized. It would also encourage learners to examine concepts and their relationships in such a way as to encourage pattern recognition, generalizing, hypothesizing, proving, and other higher-order thinking skills.
